THE APOSTLES CREED

I FIRMLY BELIEVE IN GOD THE FATHER.
Everything that He plans will come to pass.
It was He who created heaven and earth.
I also firmly believe in Jesus Christ, His son,
who was shaped like the Lord.
Our Lord was formed into a native by the Holy Spirit
while Mary was a virgin.
You gave Jesus life. As Lord He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
He was crucified, He died, He was buried,
He descended underground to the dead.
After two days He arose from the dead
He ascended to heaven to sit at His Father's right hand.
He will come again from heaven,
The plans He's made for the living and the dead
will come to pass.
I firmly believe in all those who pray solely to the Holy Spirit
honor Him by striving to be like Jesus.
Blessings come together, evils are removed.
I firmly believe that all humanity
and all human qualities will return to heaven. Amen.
The apostles of long ago, before they had dispersed
over the face of the earth, proclaimed they would
firmly believe what they said in prayer.
That's why they created what I am about to read to you,
the twelve great beliefs.
That's why we know all the prayers completely
and perfectly just as the Lord has directed us.
